If you are of a certain age from Newcastle, you’ll remember the circular restaurant hovering above the centre of Eldon Square and then its subsequent move to a mezzanine terrace in the same spot. I am sadly old enough to remember the move to the terrace which is now the location of the all new restaurant in John Lewis – Rossopomodoro.
We love Mexican food but it is really one of those cuisines that is woefully under represented in the area. In Durham we have 2 restaurants. 1 independent, 1 chain, 1 better than the other. With that in mind, we took ourselves off to Chiquito to sample what their fresh new menu had on offer.
On a gloriously sunny Saturday we had the rare British dilemma of sitting outside to dine or sitting inside – inside won but for those warmer summer days, there are seats outside on the terrace.
hereA couple of weeks ago, I visited the Great British Cupcakery for the first time with fellow blogger Vicky. It is one of those places I only ever seem to be in the vicinity of when it is closed so you can imagine when both of our days off lined up and we jumped at the chance to pay a visit. We actually we ate our way around Newcastle in the same day but that’s a different story!
The good folks over at Durham Street Food Project have released a sneaky new date for an event.
Sunday May 8th will see a new venue be introduced to the DSFP set up. Fowlers Yard is a tucked away, sheltered little gem just off the main street so all you non locals will find it. The entrance is down the side of Superdry.
Don’t fret if you can’t make it, the usual Full Moon Market returns on May 24th. You can read about DSFP HERE from my website.
